Well, that didn't go too well.

Me and her used to be awesome friends for a long long time. Then because of my issues I didn't get in contact with her for quite a while, though she didn't know that was the reason for it. I finally got in contact with her a few days ago and was chatting and what not. We were texting back and forth quickly as we both had nothing to do. Then when I finally told her, she stopped texting back. I thought she'd be quite accepting because she knew already that I had ADHD, but I guess not. I'm pretty bummed about it seeing as it took a lot to get the courage to even contact her after so long and to tell her that.

its a shame your friend stopped talking to you. could it be something else came up?

i have lost many friends the same way. i simply overwhelm them. they dont know how to handle the news, dont know what to say. i let them go. i have found trying to make it better, i only overwhelm them more. but i dont attach easy so it is easy for me to let go.

give it time and try contacting again. see what happens.

0I imagine that's rough (with me it seems most people can tell after knowing me a short time that something is not quite right - not necessarily what, but something).
However, it really could be a simple case of got distracted - perhaps read that, and something else attracted attention, therefore it slipped the mind that you were in the middle of a conversation.

True friends accept you for who you are no matter what is going on in your life or any conditions you have. I know it hurts when someone you think of as a friend cannot accept you for who you are as I have had this happen to me.

Take Kaliope's suggestion to heart first, and text her again. See if she was simply distracted. If that is not the case, even if it hurts, move on. A friend like that will cause you more anxiety and when you suffer from anxiety that is something you cannot afford. If they cannot accept you for you, then they are not worth the effort!

You are an amazing person as you are and do not let anything or anyone make you think differently, we are all individual, different, and we ALL have our own problems. Regardless that they think they are normal, they are not. They just don't know it yet! After all what IS normal?

Be you, and find new friends who will accept YOU for who YOU ARE!

On a final note, it may be that she just needed some time to digest what you told her. As it may have come as a bit of a shock if she didn't know. So if she does text back and is a bit hesitant, but still conversant give her a little time to get used to the idea, but if you find she isn't getting used to the idea and cannot accept it then you know what to do. I hope my advice helps. And please note it is not a suggestion only advice.
Just be yourself

Thanks everyone! That really helped me out a lot! She text me back after a few days and seemed to sorta play it off in a joking way like "Haha, ok so what are you doing?" Almost as if to avoid the subject. After a little while she asked me if I wanted to go to church with her which made me feel a little odd. She knows that I don't have the same religion as her. I text her back saying that I wouldn't be able to go since a church does not have to follow the ADA and therefore my Service Dog wouldn't be allowed in unless I call them ahead of time and get permission. (Which I wasn't about to do since I don't really want to go anyway) She simply text back with "Lol" and it has been a few days more since that text.
